On May 23rd, Council once again pushed back the decision on if Eugene is going to comply with State Law allowing each single-family home owner who wants to build a secondary dwelling unit to do so (SB 1051.)  Not only did they fail to modify the proposal from staff to remove barriers to Secondary Dwellings Units, they actually voted amend the ordinance to prohibit Secondary Dwelling Units from the Jefferson Westside and Chambers Special Area Zones, two medium-density areas.  It is on the agenda for further discussion on June 11th. 

What: Public Hearing Regarding SB 1051/SDU compliance in Eugene
When: April 16th, 7:30 (arrive early to sign up to comment)
Where: Harris Hall, 125 E 8th Ave, Eugene

January 22nd, City Staff will be presenting to both the Eugene Planning Commission (meeting at 11:30am) and the Eugene City Council (meeting at 7:30pm) their proposal for addressing roadblocks to Accessory/Secondary Dwelling Units (ADUs) in Eugene.  Is the proposal enough?  Be heard!

The hearing on the Amazon Corner development was last week, but you still can comment for another two days. 

Eugene is facing a housing crisis.  We simply have not built enough housing to keep up with demand.
